Adopt Louise

Female · Senior · 11 years

Louise is the perfect example of an older lady who still thoroughly enjoys life. She loves quiet walks with the sun on her nose, after which she happily lies down in the garden or on the porch. In the evenings, Louise prefers the company of her people and enjoys proximity and calm. With her irresistible snout, she can easily conquer everyone. On walks, she behaves well and shows herself to be a pleasant, calm companion. She can possibly be tested with her own dog. Furthermore, Louise mainly needs a home where her quiet pace is respected and where she can enjoy her well-earned comfortable moments. Unfortunately, we have little background information about Louise.

Read original (nl)

Louise is het perfecte voorbeeld van een oudere dame die nog volop geniet van het leven. Ze houdt van rustige wandelingen met de zon op haar snoet, waarna ze maar al te graag languit dut in de tuin of op de koer. ’s Avonds zoekt Louise het liefst de gezelligheid van haar mensen op en geniet ze van nabijheid en rust. Met haar onweerstaanbare snoetje weet ze bovendien iedereen meteen in te pakken. Op wandel gedraagt ze zich flink en toont ze zich een aangename, rustige compagnon. Kan eventueel getest worden met eigen hond. Verder heeft Louise vooral nood aan een thuis waar men haar rustige tempo respecteert en waar ze kan genieten van haar welverdiende comfortmomentjes. Helaas hebben we weinig achtergrondinformatie van Louise.

About Louise

What life with Louise looks like

Louise is a senior dog waiting at Dierenasiel Gent in Gent.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Louise, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Louise?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Gent handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Louise on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Louise if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Gent will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Louise already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Louise isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierenasiel Gent early rather than rehoming privately; they know Louise and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
